Product Description

132 pages, with more than forty illustrations, the majority full page photographs, some drawn illustrations and course maps, with one folding map.
Guide covering most of the golf courses of Yorkshire, especially in the West, with a good architectural focus.
Timeless Moortown, Leeds, Alwoodley, Huddersfield, Keighley (some members have been heard calling it 'Royal' Keighly), Ilkley, etc.
Section on the best holes in Leeds and District and a very interesting chapter entitled "Are Golf Courses Too Long".
(Note: I find it odd that the majority of modern golfers do not realize how far an old balata covered ball with rubber core and rubber strands wound as tight as the manufacturer or player wanted them (unregulated at the time), could be struck.
300-yards was no problem for the long hitters.
Bernard Darwin wrote about the growing problem of too-short courses in 1913!) THIS COPY IS THE FORMER PROPERTY OF GOLF COURSE DESIGNER THOS.
